Would You Know Jesus?
By R. J. Gunter
Did you know that Dolly Parton once entered a Parton lookalike contest and came in second place? The famous silent film actor, Charlie Chaplin, entered a Chaplin lookalike contest and came in third. How could that happen? Can an impressionist be more real to us than the real person? Maybe we often have an impression in our mind of what a person is supposed to be like that doesn’t match the reality.
Is God Fair?
By Warren Mueller
When a child dies of cancer, a home is destroyed by a tornado or one neighbor is laid off while another is promoted, I sometimes hear people say, “It’s not fair.” Some people live long lives and are wealthy while others live short lives in poverty. Some are taller, more attractive, talented, stronger, etc. It doesn’t seem fair when the son of a vice president of a company is hired and promoted before others. We have all experienced things in our lives that do not seem fair. It’s true that life is not fair but does this mean God is not fair?

A Few Thoughts After The 4TH
By Ed Crumley

It was a cultural agreement to live by certain standards that were spelled out in a handbook for living called the Bible. Our culture began changing a few decades ago when a new spirit, a new way of thinking, entered our land.
A Time to Live
By Bob Kaku
During the waning days of World War II, there lived a young girl in Kokura, a city on the island of Kyushu in southwestern Japan. B-29s rumbled overhead, dropping bombs in her neighborhood. In one particular raid, explosives ripped holes into the street right in front of her house. Little did she know that Kokura was singled out for an even more horrific weapon. It was the primary target for the world’s second atomic bomb because of a large ammunition arsenal located there.
